whats the offset?

go on to fast car site and look at their lupo they built.

they've got 15x8s on theirs. however not sure of the offset.

also depends on how low you go and the tyres you put on them. maybe you'l need some camber but it should be fine if done right.

what wheels are they anyway

8J will rub and you will need arch work both front and rear! :(

What about tyres? Offset?

Plenty of people run 15's... I think it's probably the most common size for a Lupo tbh!

Some that may interest you?

G60s, BBS RM/RS, BBS RX2s, Borbets, Teledials, Castellets, Bathursts.

There's stupid amount of wheels out there and everyone has different tastes so :wacko:

Anyways hope I helped B)

If you have a big budget why not get the wheels you want and then make the car fit them?

Im looking at getting 8j wheels myself and I reckon you could prob go to et15 with rolled arches on 195/45 tyres.

If they dont fit you can roll and pull your arches and/or fit smaller tyres.

my old car 14" wheels

banded 14s

coming to think of it. if you want your car decked...get 14s or 13s - however running 13s on a daily is quite hard going.

those 15" wheels wont fit atall

as when i had my banded steels on. they were only 14" and the rears had an et of either 17 or 11 and i needed serious serious arch work. i ended up packing them and put different wheels on. the car literally sat on the tyres.

hope this helps
